In this tutorial we learn to Enable UART communication with PIC Microcontroller and how to transfer data to and from your Computer. So far, we have covered all basic modules like ADC, Timers, PWM and also have learnt how to interface LCDs and 7-Segment displays. Now, we will equip our self with a new communication […]

In this tutorial we will learn How to make out PIC projects wireless by interfacing a Bluetooth Module (HC-06). In our previous tutorial we have already learnt How to use USART module in our PIC Microcontroller and established communication between PIC and Computer. If you are an absolute beginner then check here for our all

The “Mädchen Machen Technik” workshop is designed to give high school students an introduction to microcontrollers. The students will build a flashing light pattern and/or a counter-timer. In the process of building this project, the students will learn about microcontrollers and digital electronics. Here is the parts list for the projects. Introduction to some circuit

I have seen many examples of microcontroller oscilliscopes on the web and have had an itch to build one myself. In order to accomplish this my initial thought is to sample an input (ADC) at consistant time increments and then display the waveform on a graphic lcd display. If I want to change the time

The goal of the electrical design was to streamline an automatic shift control while keeping manual user input in a fast, user-friendly way, incorporating Advanced Electrical Subsystem Control. The electrical design was driven by the complexity required by the mechanical system. The system takes in rider input in the form of a throttle position sensor,

$15.00 BASIC Computer? Imagine a microcontroller that you can connect a serial terminal up to to get an ok prompt? What would happen if you changed one of the control registers can I see the effect straight away? Is it really possible to download programs onto this chip from the Internet and run them? Can

As per the title of this question i’m trying to control an ac resistive load. So far i had little success and i’m experiencing “strange”, to me at least, behaviour from the triac(s) i tried. first of all i post a schematic of my test circuit (bare with it, it’s not a complete schematic, it

10-minute sewable iPod remote There are a lot of really cool iPod remote control projects: some have simple buttons, some react to heartbeat or body motion, and others are designed to interface directly with software running on a computer. However, not one of them is truly wearable, or speaks to the unique needs of e-textiles designers.

Most of microcontrollers work within 5 volt environment and the I/O port can only handle current up to 20mA; therefore if we want to attach the microcontroller’s I/O port to different voltage level circuit or to drive devices with more than 20mA; we need to use the interface circuit. One of the popular method is

PIC Stroboscope You have probably been to a party where there is a strobe and it delays everything. Today we are going to use this principle to “slow” stuff (fans) down. Maybe you have seen one using 555 timers, the Arduino and maybe even the Propeller chip. However, have you ever seen one with a
